Marietta, Georgia attorneys protecting debtors’ rights

Creditors often use threatening tactics to collect debts. However, nasty phone calls, aggressive letters and contacting your employer, friends and family — actions that are intended to intimidate you — may be illegal under certain circumstances.

Our Georgia creditor harassment lawyers at Gentry, Smith, Dettmering, Morgan, Schnatmeier & Collins, LLP have more than 80 years of combined experienced defending debtors’ rights. We help you put an end to the harassment and obtain debt relief.

The FDCPA prohibits debt collectors from providing false and misleading information or misrepresenting the truth. You may have a cause of action if a debt collector deceives you by:

Providing a false identity

Pretending to be a government representative or a credit bureau employee

Representing themselves falsely as attorneys

Threatening to take legal action that is in fact illegal

Claiming falsely that you face arrest or imprisonment

Misrepresenting the debt’s amount

Sending you letters that deceptively resemble official documents from courts or governmental agencies or that claim to be legal documents when they are not

In addition, they cannot take your home, possessions or wages without a court order.

Bankruptcy laws governing creditors’ conduct

Under the U.S. bankruptcy code, creditors and collection agencies must stop calling, writing, emailing or otherwise contacting debtors who have filed for bankruptcy protection. We demand that these debt collectors comply with the law and hold them accountable for illegal action. Our foreclosure defense lawyers also protect your home from deceptive and abusive mortgage practices.
